    flank steak

  • 2 tbsp.

    avocado oil (or high heat oil)

  • 1 tbsp.

    sea salt

  • 1 tsp.

    black pepper

  • 1 tsp.

    dry oregano

  • 1 tsp.

    granulated garlic

  • 1/8 tsp.

    cumin powder

  • 1 cup

    parsley (finely chopped)

    garlic (finely chopped)

  • 1 tsp.

    dry oregano

  • 2 1/2 tbsp.

    red wine vinegar

  • 1/2 cup

    olive oil


1Food Prep

Mix together your flank steak seasoning ingredients in a bowl. Rub oil on both sides of your flank steak and then evenly sprinkle your seasoning mixture on both sides.
Place your flank steak, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This will help your dry brine to fully permeate your steak, enhancing your flavors.
Before grilling, remove your flank steak from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Finally, combine all of your chimichurri ingredients together in a mixing bowl, and mix until well combined. Refrigerate your chimichurri until ready to serve.

3The Cook

    • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

    • Place your flank steak on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

    • Then, remove your flank steak from the grill and place it into a pan. Cover it and let it rest for at least 7 minutes before slicing. Serve your flank steaks sliced, against the grain, with chimichurri on the side or drizzled on top.
